HORROR GAMES YOU’VE NEVER PLAYED

Parasite Eve

When one thinks of horror games on the original PlayStation, 99% of players will immediately mention Resident Evil or Silent Hill. Yet Parasite Eve is arguably better than both those offerings. Parasite Eve accentuated body horror unlike any other game before it and featured a wonderfully brutal narrative combined with a brilliant RPG-like combat system. The story follows a New York City police officer named Aya Brea, and her struggle against an ancient evil called Eve, an entity that threatened all life on Earth. Yet Aya has an unbreakable bond with Eve and it’s up to the player to try and break the bond and save the world. It was a weird game that scared the pants off of us back in the late 90s and although those PSone graphics are tough to look at these days, Parasite Eve still offers a wonderful horror experience to this day.
